Eagle Nebula

The picture is my attempt at liberating the iconic Eagle Nebula, also called M16. I covered up the black gap in the top right corner of the image using Adobe Photoshop and copying pieces of the blueish background clouds, then pasting them over the black area a couple times in various orientations. I then used a soft eraser along the edges of the pasted layers to remove any visible seams and make the added section as natural looking and aesthetically pleasing as possible.
